[knotty herald]

idk if i shuold be surprised at ea

[floral apex]

Monza on inters

[floral apex]

F1 Manager 2024's like half that price lol

[knotty herald]

yea frontier knows what theyre doing

ea make the champins editino 20 bucks cheaper than the base game

😭

[floral apex]

F1 manager 24 is like a major upgrade compared to the 2023 edition and is still a full 27 dollars cheaper
F1 24 is basically F1 23 with upgraded tracks and 'downgraded' handling

F1 Manager 24's gonna be released on Nintendo Switch

[knotty herald]

ah fucking h ell i didnt know that

[knotty herald]

yeah the custom liveries insane

[floral apex]

Frontier might be the goat of f1 games now

[brittle mantle]

had 50% on the back wheels but 0% on fronts, there we go

seems like it's going to be a close championship

[floral apex]

"seems like its going to be a close championship"
literally goes into a wall

its slicks weather and they turned on drs...

inters with drs lol

i just secured pole position on inters when everyone else tried the slicks

[floral apex]

Safety car deployed and once again it was caused by a car spinning out and "blocking" the track

Logan Sargeant has just been disqualified for getting stuck in the chicane

when the safety car is coming in, you become the safety car in sector 3

TVception

[floral apex]

update: Oscar Piastri retires from a mechanical issue, causes VSC

[charred portal]

did something 👀

[floral apex]

damn

5 second penalty for Ocon

i find it funny how my R&D guy is named Max and my teammate is also named Max

[austere echo]

srry if this aint allowed or smth (mods)

[floral apex]

im at the track Red Bull struggled at last year

[keen brook]

please no financial transactions or stuff like that here

[austere echo]

My bad champ

[sullen needle]

Oh my god.

You can put Bianca in an F1 car.

And Ugochukwu as well, wow.

Love how this is panning out.

They have all kinds of affiliates.

The fact that they have F1 Academy drivers as well is so awesome.

[floral apex]

frontier is the goat of f1 games

[brittle mantle]

equal time

[surreal cobalt]

vcarb vs ferrari

[floral apex]

This is all I see in this picture

[brittle mantle]

Hahahah

[floral apex]

Red Bull's on the phone, they want to know if you're secretly using a repainted RB19

[prisma folio]

Is it possible to ues a tv and a monitor at the same time on the ps5

[signal surge]

Yo guys

Im playing F1 2019

Merc Academy

Should I go to Racing Point or Williams?

[vital verge]

Hello, I'm trying to install re shade on F1 24 but when I launch the game, re shade doesn't appear

[floral apex]

If you want to drive for a faster team and get right to fighting for points, Racing Point was the faster team in 2019

But if you feel like trying to bring a team from back of the grid to the top, Williams is a good option for yoh

[signal surge]

Press the home key

[vital verge]

When I press it, the menu doesn't show

And even when I install it, the loading bar at the top doesn't appear when I open the game

[vague willow]

yes

[floral apex]

id say Frontier are putting themselves at the forefront of modern F1 games (they're doing things EA can't - low price games with features the community wanted) while Codemasters pre-EA were really good in their F1 games (among the highest rated F1 games are the early 2010s games)

[wintry bone]

MyTeam in F1 Manager is already looking better than the 4 years of MyTeam in the F1 Codies series

In terms of overall freedom

[split bay]

For f1 23, what car setup for baku quali 1 do i choose

[split bay]

nvm, i’ve already done it

[keen brook]

After 2 and a half weeks it's finally time to go back into the manager.

[soft osprey]

Ei

[floral apex]

the german term might be why they say "box box" for pit stops

[keen brook]

That's actually a good point.

Never noticed that.

[floral apex]

according to f1, that is the case

[keen brook]

oh

interesting

[floral apex]

red bull has a slightly different story

[keen brook]

Well, it actually says the same, just more detailed.

[floral apex]

considering F1's origins as a (primarily) European championship it does make sense

[granite stream]

i have f1 18,19,20 and 21, which should i play for a career?

[soft osprey]

hmmm

F1 2020 or F1 2021

[keen brook]

F1 2021

[floral apex]

when the top 5 in q1 are within 0.100 seconds of each other

[floral apex]

i forgot to check the weather before going back out

[floral apex]

okay what
so i had to get a gearbox that was outside my original allocation
and im allowed to start on pole in the next race?
the rules state i should've recieved a 10-place grid penalty for having to use an extra gearbox (this didn't happen)

[sullen needle]

God the closer we get to F1 Manager 24 the more exited I am.

This game is looking even better after every single trailer which is so rare to see in modern gaming.

[heavy shoal]

anyone got any tips?

for f124

[sullen needle]

I do.

Left click the game on the launcher.

Then you'll want to click the 'uninstall' button.

[heavy shoal]

right

but i seriously need some driving tips

[red wadi]

I’m already bored of F1 24😭

[keen brook]

damn

I'm actually enjoying it a lot.

[red wadi]

I’m cooking stories and then i’m like “alright I’ll continue with my mega in dept EAFC24 save”

[floral apex]

ever been so bored of the EA F1 game that you decide to play a different EA game

[red wadi]

One that’s even worse😭😭

But it’s good fun carrying APOEL FC to a Super League win

[heavy shoal]

that's good to hear cuz i just downloaded it

and got concerned

[heavy shoal]

bro this music is ass 😭

[floral apex]

I only play the f1 game for the career mode

[heavy shoal]

wasnt there a handling update?

[keen brook]

yes

[upbeat creek]

does anyone knows when the F2 update

comes to f1 24

[keen brook]

It's expected to be mid to late October.

If that's wrong or true, I don't know, but that's the only thing I've heard yet.

[solid solar]

Guys how'd codies scan Senna and Hunt for F1 24 💀

Like aren't they both dead?

[bleak cloud]

they just rendered his model without using face scan

Dutch gp winner Lewis Hamilton is knocked out in Q1 the very next race

[floral apex]

For a second there I thought you said Lewis was Dutch

[bleak cloud]

Perez and Russell are eliminated in Q2 with a both Haases in Q3 for the second race in a row

top 10 for Q3 (I may of gotten a tow 😉 )

[covert cypress]

Your Scottish?

[bleak cloud]

yes

[floral apex]

alex lbon in P7 tho

[bleak cloud]

hes 4th rn

Max locked up on the second lap and is now last

[heavy shoal]

Handling doesn't feel terrible

[covert cypress]

nicee

[bleak cloud]

I give up

I won the race with both Ferraris in P2-P3 it got to my team clapping their hands

game froze

it quit the game

no crash log or anything

its now back to the start of the race :/

[floral apex]

Bruh

[floral apex]

Not as bad as the time i finished the Miami GP entirely and then promptly hit "restart session" by accident

[floral apex]

It appears that the game doesn't save race completion/results until after the cutscenes (podium, DNF, etc.) have finished

[heavy shoal]

Guys when your recharge is full do you lose power kw from the battery

I mean get less

[split bay]

pls respond quickly, which do i choose

[thin python]

First one

[prisma kayak]

You can't get red flag if your race distance is short?

[red wadi]

Yup

[river mesa]

whos at fault here

[brazen nebula]

the ferrari who i think is you because you didnt leave a full car width and squeezed the alpine to the outside, sure you can squeeze someone out if your ahead at the apex but it wouldnt apply to when there is barriers nearby

[thick lily]

Im planning to buy and play one of the f1 games after 2020, i have 21 and 22. I wanna play latest ones so i cant decide 2023 or 2024 is better

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @thick lily, you're now on lap 5

[brazen nebula]

depends what your gonna do, if you do career modes then f1 24 but f1 23 has better handling overall and is more fun for things other than career mode because f1 24 is a £60 update imo

[thick lily]

i just wanna play with my friend

so idm career mode tbh

[brazen nebula]

then f1 23

literally the only difference is career mode, handling and hud

like the menu page things are the same

[elder flame]

good start

[floral apex]

Too late of a defensive manouver there
It would've been better to go right, leave room and battle later, considering the next two corner were right handers anyway

[pine dune]

Sup guys?

I simulated some F1 seasons, and I can say, the results were pretty nice

In season 1, Verstappen won the title, but he had a great battle with Norris

And in season 2 and 3, Norris won back 2 back titles

[pine dune]

These shots look fire

[zinc totem]

1.Aston Martin Nightmare
2.Magnussen Spin
3.Magnussen wheel bumbs Gasly
4.The Grid

[pine dune]

Why is it always Magnussen😂😂

[zinc totem]

Just like irl

[pine dune]

Fr

What is George cooking?

And the next race I got Stroll starting 2nd by 0.007 seconds

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @pine dune, you're now on lap 5

[pine dune]

And yeah, I'm just simulating the races

[brazen nebula]

im doing a mclaren career on f1 manager 23 and hired lewis for 2024 season and now i have this message

he found me

[pine dune]

Merc 1-2 in Quali in the 4th best car

[brazen nebula]

seriously though i have everything set up for next season, i hired lewis, bono, the ferrari head of aero cause i cant get the red bull one, got the ferrari technical chief and even the sporting director from mercedes

i might be cooking up an 8th wdc for lewis here

[floral apex]

Never take a "we're coming for you" message from Toto lightly

[brazen nebula]

lol

the messages seem like they are typed out by chimpanzees

i spent half of the monthly payment on contracts for next year

and about a week ingame later the board said they were happy with the finances

[floral apex]

this is a thing in F1 24?

[zinc totem]

Career mode

[pine dune]

It is in Driver Career

[zinc totem]

The f2 career is still poorly made

[brazen nebula]

its the replacement for the car reveal in f1 24

[zinc totem]

Not even a menu between races

[pine dune]

I think this gonna be a 4 drivers title battle

[zinc totem]

I'm playing vesti and will make him great

Currently in F2

[floral apex]

Looks a lot more exciting than watching a cinematic video of a car

[brazen nebula]

yeah

i havent tried the my team one

i wonder if it will just be adding another car

or the standard car reveal

[pine dune]

Standard car reveal

[brazen nebula]

is it actually?

[pine dune]

Yeah, the grid cutscene is only for Driver Career

[brazen nebula]

missed opportunity imo

[floral apex]

Sounds like EA's slowly killing off myteam mode

If theyre only throwing in the new features in driver career

[brazen nebula]

next year its probably gonna be a big my team revamp cause my team hasnt really had an update at all

[floral apex]

They didn't do the driver heights lol
They made Yuki tall

[brazen nebula]

imagine if you could approach a driver through a secret meeting in my team

[floral apex]

that would be a good feature
Secret meetings in reverse

[brazen nebula]

yeah

and actually do stuff in the meetings

cause on f1 24 it literally only gaurantees that the team your talking with signs you

by pressing a button or two

still would rather have it than not but could be improved a lot

ok it cant only be me who just uses 16x for half the races on f1 manager

[floral apex]

well if that's how you want to play then go ahead

not everyone's gonna sit there and watch races in full

especially if nothings happening

[brazen nebula]

i used 2x anyway before but i dont get why i slowly reverted to 16x for half of the race

[floral apex]

If there were secret meetings in F1 23 then my performance so far would probably get me secret meetings from at least half the grid

[brazen nebula]

lol

[floral apex]

in my f1 23 career im trying to not win the championship while also trying to keep a red bull at the front of the grid in every race

[brazen nebula]

who is your teammate

[floral apex]

max

verstappen

[brazen nebula]

depending how much your beating max by i would raise the ai a bit

i dont like to hold back in my career modes

so i have to raise the ai to get a challenge

something here has to be up

its lap 3

and he didnt use mediums in qualifying obviously

bro someone on softs has better tyre wear than him

[pine dune]

Sometimes I look at things and say: How did this get here?

[brazen nebula]

lol

[floral apex]

On my first tire stints i end up being so slow on the straights i almost get passed every lap

[floral apex]

mates pushing like his career depends on it

[brazen nebula]

he did spin into a gravel trap but still

thats far too much

[floral apex]

how many times did he lock up

[brazen nebula]

once

he spun though not locked up

hes on a mission though

lap 7 and he went from 5 seconds in dead last on lap 3 to p17 overtaking oscar pastry

im hoping i can keep piastri with him

nevermind

[floral apex]

belgian grand prix 2022
if max has to, he'll go pass half the grid to win

[brazen nebula]

hes driving off into the sunset already

BRO WHAT

TSUNODA JUST DIDNT BRAKE AND SHUNTED PIASTRI INTO THE BARRIERS

[floral apex]

Tsunoda be taking career tips from Lance Stroll lol

[brazen nebula]

recorded the replay

he got a 5 second penalty but hes out

hope he gets a grid penalty next race

[pine dune]

What is Lando cooking

[floral apex]

Im pretty sure unserved time penalties get converted to grid penalties

[brazen nebula]

wait wth sargeant locked up into turn 1 under vsc

LOL

HE DID

[floral apex]

even sargeant's been taking tips from Stroll

[pine dune]

💀

[brazen nebula]

joe biden is shaking after seeing that performance

[floral apex]

In F1 Mobile Racing i drove for McLaren

[brazen nebula]

this race is chaos

[floral apex]

the crash animations in F1 Manager get me every time

[brazen nebula]

magnussen span it into the barriers

he has no front wing

no vsc i dont think

OMG LOL

more chaos

russel locked up

[floral apex]

i want to know
Is it possible to hire Ricciardo in F1M23 or is he not in the game

[brazen nebula]

thats p9 for norris

[jovial scroll]

spun?

[brazen nebula]

yes

whatever the proper word is

[brazen nebula]

he is in the game

[jovial scroll]

I’m sure you could

[brazen nebula]

he is red bull reserve ingame

[jovial scroll]

although as a teammate

doesnt always peform

[brazen nebula]

oh no

norris is screwed

verstappen 3.5 seconds behind

i already hear supermax

[floral apex]

how many positions has max gained

[brazen nebula]

10

surprisingly lando is holding the gap well

lando is on 42% softs and max is on 50% mediums

its cause i had him on aggressive pace mode to make up for the lowered wear during vsc

[floral apex]

max be doing Checo in Sakhir 2020

[brazen nebula]

so hes getting fired next race?

ok now who do we think is gonna cause a vsc or safety car next

[floral apex]

Someone towards the back of the grid

or whatevers left of the back of the grid

[brazen nebula]

you might be right

i paused it and it literally just said magnussen running wide turn 9

and just before a de vries lock up

[keen brook]

de Vries

[brazen nebula]

ngl i think sargeant has brake magic on

hes locked up like 7 times and its lap 32/66

[keen brook]

In my current save de Vries literally had in 2023 DNFed 4 times due to spinning into the wall.

[zinc totem]

Anyone knows when the f2 24 update comes?

[zinc totem]

Skill issues

[keen brook]

It's expected do be mid to end of October.

[zinc totem]

😭

[brazen nebula]

i need a safety car right now so bad to score points

im p11 with norris on lap 56/66

and 8.5 seconds behind p10

[floral apex]

wheres max

[brazen nebula]

p4

i dont think he will wil

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @brazen nebula, you're now on lap 5

[brazen nebula]

he has 23 second gap to the leader

and theres 10 laps left

ok p11 finish

not bad for norris

p13 to p11

piastri got shunted

so hes out

i cant belive this

[floral apex]

Is this based on pre-Austria 2023 season stats

[brazen nebula]

idk i havent played f1 manager until like a week ago

or f1 manager 23 i should say

tsunoda wrecked the whole engine

i gave piastri a new gearbox for spain

and its already gone

[floral apex]

rip gearbox

[brazen nebula]

i spent 3 mil on new parts

i had no spare front wing because magnussen did his thing at imola and squeezed lando out giving him wing damage

and i forgot to manufacture more

but my research for next season completed

half my wind tunnel and cfd mau time will be spent on research now

[zinc totem]

Always magnussen

[brazen nebula]

when me and my friend do our two player career he always calls magnussen a war criminal

i agree the online ai makes magnussen more dangerous than nikita mazepin or lance stroll

hopefully no funny business goes on with my drivers

at canada

BRO

I HAVE A GRID PENALTY AS WELL

will probably count for both piastri and tsunoda

because i had to buy a new ers component

[pine dune]

Weirdest simulation I've ever had. Max finished P20 while being 4 laps down💀, Perez P19, 4 laps down, Leclerc, Lewis, George, Carlos all 3 laps down💀

[brazen nebula]

reverse grid lol

[pine dune]

Nah, it's the Baku effect

[brazen nebula]

lol

[pine dune]

And Stroll still DNFd

[brazen nebula]

i mean]

did you expect stroll to last 5 laps at a street circuit

[pine dune]

Stroll doing Stroll things is really common, even in Season 4

[pine dune]

Yeah😂😂

[brazen nebula]

he crashed out at jeddah this year after having raced there 3 times

and ollie bearman with 45 minutes of practice didnt crash once

[pine dune]

Round 17, heavy rain in Singapore, prediction for the winner @brazen nebula ?

[brazen nebula]

and he chained 3 mistakes in 3 corners in monaco last year

oo tough one

sargeant

[pine dune]

Pole is Hulkenberg

And Stroll 2nd

[brazen nebula]

🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅RAHHHH🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

wait what

how

first of all

how do you get rain at singapore

second

[pine dune]

Idk mate, 110% AI simulated quali

[brazen nebula]

hulkenburg cant get a podium let alone a pole

[pine dune]

It's random😂

[brazen nebula]

and third

[pine dune]

The Aston Martin effect. Alonso gave him his car💀

[brazen nebula]

how did stroll even come out of the pit lane without crashing into the pit wall

[pine dune]

Idk dude

Like look at this

[brazen nebula]

bro what

hulkenburgs first podium

👏👏👏👏

[keen brook]

And it's even a win.

[pine dune]

Heavy rain

[zinc totem]

I'm always slip in rain

[brazen nebula]

you know something went very wrong if stroll got past t1 without hitting the barrier all the way at t10

[zinc totem]

Evrry corner

[pine dune]

HE'S DONE IT

[zinc totem]

Nuh uh

[pine dune]

NICO HULKENBERG IS A GRAND PRIX WINNER IN FORMULA 1

[zinc totem]

In my career Lando won

[floral apex]

oh i see he replaced fernando alonso

[brazen nebula]

guys

[pine dune]

And Stroll with yet another DNF💀

[brazen nebula]

i may have a leclerc verstappen title fight on this f1 manager career

[zinc totem]

Lando better

[brazen nebula]

i have everything set up to win next season with lewis or norris

i have lewis signed for the 2024 season at mclaren again

i have bono

or will have

next season

[keen brook]

I also signed Lewis and Bono lol.

[brazen nebula]

i will have the ferrari technical chief because the red bull one doesnt like mclaren

i will have the ferrari head of aero for the same reason

[keen brook]

But for 2025 as I joined McLaren in 2024.

[floral apex]

I don't have any F1 Manager 😦

[pine dune]

These are the R+D charts

[keen brook]

After winning the constructors with Ferrari in 2023.

[brazen nebula]

i will have the mercedes sporting director

wait

you can change teams of f1 manager

[keen brook]

yes

[brazen nebula]

woah

i dont think i will though

[floral apex]

My only f1 game is the 2023 EA game

I have an old NASCAR game for the PS2 lol

[brazen nebula]

once lewis retires i will replace him with either drugovich or verstappen

because i hired him as my reserve

and hes taking most of piastris fp1 sessions

[floral apex]

drugovich or verstappen

[brazen nebula]

drugovich

i would choose drugovich to take both of my drivers fp1 sessions equally across the season

but piastri isnt good enough

and soon enough drugovich will be faster than piastri

since his development rate is still high

[keen brook]

For me Drugo is also my reserve lol.

Because as I joined McLaren they signed him as reserve.

[pine dune]

💀

[brazen nebula]

look at strolls smile

[keen brook]

I also have Alpine's head of aero.

Dirk de Beer

[brazen nebula]

he seems like hes happy with life

[pine dune]

He's smiling in Daddy's cash

[brazen nebula]

he kept the car out of the wall for longer than 5 laps

[keen brook]

As they also signed him as I joined McLaren.

The rest is unchanged though.

[brazen nebula]

isnt dirk de beer like 65 years old

[keen brook]

Except Lewis and Bono who I signed for 2025.

replacing Oscar and Tom Stallard

[brazen nebula]

yeah for me lewis and bono are gonna replace oscar and stallard

[keen brook]

Yeah, he's very old.

But also has a quite high rating.

Oscar's 2024 season was just too bad to keep him.

[brazen nebula]

imagine in f1 manager 24 you can hire adrian newey 💀

[pine dune]

AND THE SPRINT RACE CAN ONLY BE WON BY ONE, LANCE STROLL IS THE WINNER OF THE 2028 TEXAS GP SPRINT RACE

[keen brook]

damn

[brazen nebula]

nah bro

no way

i cant believe this

[keen brook]

What is Aston cooking?

[pine dune]

Silly season at it's finest

But their upgrades came really late and Lando has an 80 point gap to Verstappen in the championship

3 in a row for Lando incoming

And then imagine next season, Lance Stroll is champion of the world

[brazen nebula]

stroll went from thishttps://youtu.be/qccgHz4vGV0?si=pseuEutW5Aps8qwo

[floral apex]

Gasly always finds himself in Q3 in my f1 23 save but he very rarely qualifies higher than 10th

[brazen nebula]

to winning a sprint

[pine dune]

And to taking pole for the Grand Prix

[floral apex]

The sprint is still like that in the f1 game

[brazen nebula]

on f1 24 it changed to the real life sprint format

like the sprint shootout thing

[keen brook]

yeah

[pine dune]

NO WAY

[keen brook]

also the tire compound rule

[zinc totem]

Pluh

[brazen nebula]

your joking right?

[zinc totem]

Yes

[pine dune]

Nope

It's as real as it could be

[keen brook]

And that's also fixed in the latest patch that the AI doesn't cheat on that anymore.

[brazen nebula]

bro at imola 2023 on f1 manager 23 the tyre compound rule caught me off guard lol

i was like

why wont it let me on softs

im locked on hards

[keen brook]

oh yeah, the ATA qualis

Thankfully they're gone.

[brazen nebula]

the idea irl works but its a bit annoying in the game

[keen brook]

Nah, irl it was just confusing.

Especially with the tire compound rule in Sprints being slightly different.

[brazen nebula]

yk what would be cool

[keen brook]

And literally no one knew which race weekends even were ATA.

[brazen nebula]

if in a my team career you could vote on reg changes

but its to do with actual race weekend stuff

not just the car regulations

a bit like the f1 manager games

like double points for a weekend and all the teams vote

[heavy shoal]

what is with the handling for f2 cars

[brazen nebula]

if you have ea play you can get a 5 or 6 hours free trial on f1 24

and when i went into spa using it

[keen brook]

The F2 car really feels shit.

[brazen nebula]

i used lucas blakely's time trial setup

and the oversteer was crazy

[keen brook]

Like the brake is way too strong.

[heavy shoal]

why the fuck is it so oversteery mid corner and on the exit

that too

[brazen nebula]

its the opposite on the f1 cars lol

[keen brook]

It's literally either locking up or braking not enough to get the corner.

Like in turn 9-10 in Bahrain, I locked up every lap as that was the only way to get the car slowed down properly.

[pine dune]

And Max is back to winning

[keen brook]

Like it literally was tire locking on purpose.

And it felt like that's the fastest way to get around this corner which is a little bit odd.

[pine dune]

But Hulk got another podium

[brazen nebula]

bruh

piastri 99% track acclimitisation

after fp3

would have been 100% if it didnt rain

[keen brook]

Yeah, rain in practice sucks.

It just ruins the track acclimatization.

[solid vector]

WHAT

A

Q3

MA GAWD

look at the top 4

in 0.025

[brazen nebula]

damn

[floral apex]

Whos in P2

[pine dune]

What in the transfers

[brazen nebula]

what year is it

[floral apex]

I see a Haas in P2 but i see no name

[pine dune]

Whatever year it is, the only consistent thing is that Alonso is still thete

[brazen nebula]

YES

[keen brook]

Who's the no name dude at Haas?

[brazen nebula]

NORRIS STARTING ABOVE TSUNODA AFTER GRID PENALTY

[pine dune]

ASTON 1-2 IN THE BRAZIL SPRINT RACE

[floral apex]

told ya earlier unserved penalties get converted into grid penalties

[keen brook]

These 2 million different blue shades really are a bit annoying.

[brazen nebula]

damn

[keen brook]

And with RB it even became 1 more now.

[brazen nebula]

at least the game is accurate

[floral apex]

Alpine should embrace the pink

and make pink their permanent team color
we'd have one less blue team

[keen brook]

yeah

[brazen nebula]

it got from full wets to inters aand norris went from p1 to p14 in q2

[keen brook]

Then you can make RB light blue.

Williams dark blue

and Red Bull purple

Would make things a lot easier.

[brazen nebula]

btw

about the grid penalties

ignore what i said about starting ahead of tsunoda

pretty sure he only got 5 place

[floral apex]

purple red bull

[keen brook]

Like if you see result screens like that it's really hard to tell who's Williams and who's RB.

[brazen nebula]

both my drivers got 10 place grid penalty

for 2 new ers components

[keen brook]

And then there's also Red Bull and Alpine.

[pine dune]

Albon and Maloney are Williams, RedBull and Alpine are the same

[brazen nebula]

but i have a strategy thats good for the recovery drive

[keen brook]

They could make that a lot easier if they would make Alpine pink and then have a higher range of blue shades for RB and Williams.

and Red Bull purple

[wary tide]

So uh

[pine dune]

3 races to go, standings update

[floral apex]

Purple red bull

[keen brook]

It becomes even funnier if you then do a My Team career and have blue as your team color.

Then you have a 5th blue shade.

[wary tide]

Has anyone had 7 stops in a race before?

[brazen nebula]

YOUR ACTUALLY JOKING ME MAN

[keen brook]

I had once 8 stops.

That was in F1 2020 in Hungary.

really crazy race

[pine dune]

Finally Norris is back

AND VERSTAPPEN IS 12TH

Norris could win the championship here in Interlagos

[brazen nebula]

I HAD NORRIS SET UP FOR A CRAZY RECOVERY DRIVE

[wary tide]

I was winning by 60 seconds then a red flag on lap 66

[pine dune]

Sauber's fault

He didn't leave the space

ALL THE TIME U HAVE TO LEAVE THE SPACE

[brazen nebula]

i literally said before the weekend

[pine dune]

NICO HUUUUUUULKENBERG IS A RACE WINNER AGAIN

[brazen nebula]

i hope no funny business goes in with my drivers

[floral apex]

How many times did the weather change lol

[wary tide]

4

The end of the race was dry, but everyone was on inters

[pine dune]

Brazilian GP results

Norris still has to wait for that 3rd title

[brazen nebula]

norris got a penalty

for the collision

[solid vector]

2026

[solid vector]

mick

[keen brook]

oh

Why he has no name though?

[solid vector]

idk why it says no name

[floral apex]

"Lets set lando up for a recovery drive!"
Lando: ooh that alfa romeo looks nice...shame if something happened to it

[brazen nebula]

ikr

[brazen nebula]

ive set him up for an even better one this time

the game has estimated race times

that change with the strategy

[pine dune]

Guys, imagine after these performances, there will be a ton of driver transfers and idk, Stroll ends up in RedBull or something💀

[brazen nebula]

and i had a strategy that was 20 seconds faster than the ones the ai was using

now its 11 seconds faster i think

[solid vector]

WOW
2 YEARS NO WINS

[brazen nebula]

lando is lapping 4 tenths faster than tsunoda though

[solid vector]

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

we are so back

back to back podiums

imola - double podium

[pine dune]

McLaren are back

[solid vector]

and now our first win of the 2026 season

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAS

imola and austria suited us

and now

again austria

[brazen nebula]

norris has crazy pace rn

lapping 9 tenths faster than the car behind him

de vries is a bit fast rn but hes pushing hard

[pine dune]

Lando is a 3 time champion

[brazen nebula]

SAFETY CAR LETS GO

[pine dune]

BUT THE LAS VEGAS GP HAS BEEN WON BY LANCE STROLL

[floral apex]

I was on mediums in zandvoort and overcut almost everyone with my strategy

[brazen nebula]

NVM SAFETY CAR SCREWED ME

im now just under a lap down on the car in front

because he didnt box

and the safety car only let norris pass once

[floral apex]

The world has something against you, i think

[pine dune]

I got a question. After last year's race, who came up with the ideea that a Sprint in Qatar would be a good thing

[brazen nebula]

ok so

lando and oscar gained 3 places

lando could have scored points

[floral apex]

it was a sprint last year so they simply just kept it

[brazen nebula]

lando p16 and oscar p17

plus

lando had chassis and sidepods damage

[floral apex]

From deciding he had something against that Alfa Romeo?

[brazen nebula]

yeah

[solid vector]

peak

peak was 6.78 mm

styrian weather at its peak

[floral apex]

thats a lot of rain

[brazen nebula]

and he had some suspension damage

ive just spent 6mil on new parts

i had to emergency manufacture suspension parts and chassis parts

[floral apex]

Williams in australia 2024 be like:

[brazen nebula]

oh no

i have 200k cash now

[pine dune]

The Aston Martin rise is over

[floral apex]

All of these incidents have turned McLaren into Haas

[brazen nebula]

lol

ive had damage 3 races in a row now

first it was magnussen pushing norris off

then tsunoda just didnt brake into turn 1 taking piastri out

then it was norris just turning into zhou

this isnt looking good already

heavy rain friday moderate rain saturday and light rain sunday

[floral apex]

At least the rain gets lighter as the weekend goes in

[brazen nebula]

its austria idk what i expected

[floral apex]

In my monza race in f1 23, the whole race was done on inters and i was constantly asking my engineer for a weather update in case full wets were needed

[brazen nebula]

i seriously need to pick up the pace

ive had at least one driver finishing in last place/dnf for 3 races in a row

[heavy shoal]

bro i just took spain t3 flat in an f2 car with a default setup 😭

what is going on

[keen brook]

I've just managed my worst setup ever.

1%

[brazen nebula]

oh no

piastri dead last

rain started end of q1 and it ruined his lap

[brazen nebula]

loll

i seem to be fucked for the race

i forgot austria is sprint weekend

i have 56% confidence

setup confidence i mean

[keen brook]

8% for Lewis

[brazen nebula]

lol

norris out of q2

lets take a guess whos on pole

[keen brook]

Max

[brazen nebula]

i really wonder who it could be

yup

not surprised

[solid vector]

i wont have the same success as last race

[brazen nebula]

idk how leclerc is even in the championship

[solid vector]

p19,p20

after pitstops

[keen brook]

For me right now in 2025 Charles is bottling a dominant championship lead.

[brazen nebula]

lol

for me he finished p13

[keen brook]

Red Bull is catching like crazy the last few races.

[solid vector]

fuck that needs to hurt to watch

[keen brook]

Meanwhile we are in 3rd in no mans land.

But our car now really turned into a shitbox.

at the end of the season

from 1% to 73% with Lando

[brazen nebula]

i know that our car will probably end up being like brawngp next season but like

norris wdc incoming?

or probably lewis 8th

[keen brook]

for Lewis from 8% to 75%

[brazen nebula]

im genuinely conflicted about when lewis retires in my career

because its either max verstappen or felipe drugovich

who will be an absolute beast by the time lewis is gone

[solid vector]

i dont feel good bout silverstone

but lets see

[brazen nebula]

time for sprint with the shit setup

and it might rain

if they crash im gonna have a fit and be forced into a mental hospital

stroll locked up lol

[pine dune]

And the season ended with an Aston Martin 1-2

[brazen nebula]

LOL

ALONSO CRASHED LAST LAP OF THE SPRINT

omg

[pine dune]

And the transfers going into Season 5
Ollie Bearman and Gasly to Williamd
Maloney to Alpine

[brazen nebula]

piastri had another crash

but no damage

praise the lord

he has a penalty

funny enough it was zhou again

hes getting abused by mclarens

LOL ZHOU IS OUT

oh shit i forgot to save fuel for lando

-0.5kg on lap 68

[keen brook]

Definitely never happened to me.

[brazen nebula]

tried to make strategy call of the century calling norris onto mediums

[pine dune]

LANCE STROLL WINS THE SEASON OPENER

[keen brook]

Damn, Stroll really is cooking.

[pine dune]

Aston is cooking

Cause Hulk got 2nd

[keen brook]

damn

[pine dune]

And it's also season 5, so yeah

And the thing is that Aston it the 4th best car

But it's equal to Merc and McLaren, and just a bit behind RedBull

[floral apex]

Im just thinking of how i only get safety cars when someone spins out and blocls traffic

[pine dune]

Looks like in Season 5 it will be McLaren vs Aston Martin

[brazen nebula]

oh no

im 6 million in debt

[keen brook]

damn

[brazen nebula]

its all the bloody crashes

[pine dune]

And for the final sim of the evening, Oscar Piastri wins the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

[brazen nebula]

cost me 8 fucking million overall

[pine dune]

Thanks for joining me guys. I'll be back tomorrow to continue the sim

[keen brook]

nice

Las Vegas qualifying result of my all teams career (2nd team McLaren)

[brazen nebula]

ferrari finally got a driver who is dumb enough to fall for their strategies

[keen brook]

wait

I just noticed.

Zhou 2nd?

That's mad.

Red Bull only 7th and 8th as well

That could be a big race for Ferrari in the championship fight.

[brazen nebula]

honestly i might fire piastri mid season

if i have the money

hes constantly just slow

he hasnt scored a single point yet

he hasnt made it to q2 once while lando has done it most races this season

maybe hulkenburg

for the end of the season

[keen brook]

2.530 for Lando

[brazen nebula]

or even danny ric if he is highly rated

[keen brook]

2.452 for Lewis

pit stop issue for Magnussen

pit stop issue for Bottas

pit stop issue for Tsunoda

[brazen nebula]

what is this man

for practice i use full conserve and full fuel saving to maximise track time

piastri is so shit

theres 15 mins left of the session and hes on 29% softs

lando is on 40% rn

[keen brook]

2.397 for Lewis

[brazen nebula]

wtf man verstappen ruined norris' flying lap and got away with it

just parked it on the apex at turn 3 silverstone

[quaint prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/snowwhite-evil-trapdoor-lol-disney-gif-5806282

[brazen nebula]

right in front of norris

[keen brook]

2.649 for Lando

[brazen nebula]

OMG THIS IS CRAZY

IM GONNA HAVE A FUCKING HEART ATTACK

LANDO HAD TRAFFIC AGAIN

BY BOTTAS THIS TIME

p18 for lando

but

for the first time ever piastri forgets hes supposed to be shit

and decides to slap it into q2

everyone stay calm

this is the pinnacle of f1 right here

even better than sargeants sq2 earlier

why is traffic so bad at silverstone

apart from piastris q1 laps literally every quali lap got ruined by traffic

[keen brook]

Las Vegas race result of my all teams career (2nd team McLaren)

current championship standings

Las Vegas pit stops of my all teams career (2nd team McLaren)

current DHL fastest pit stop award standings

[brazen nebula]

im actually going to have a fucking heart attack

piastri and zhou nearly had another silverstone 2021

AND THEY CRASHED AGAIN

lol sargeant binned it

on the last lap as well

[keen brook]

The board will visit the Abu Dhabi GP.

[brazen nebula]

bro

i cant even replace the underfloor piastri broke

[keen brook]

damn

[brazen nebula]

and the one that failed inspection

they have to use the uf1 part

i blame fucking piastri

crashed the car way too many times

[wary tide]

Just make him be better smh

[brazen nebula]

wish i could

f1 manager improvement is very slow

i wonder when i get the next payment thing

why is piastris morale high

ive already signed lewis hamilton to replace him so hes gone

he will probably be somewhere at the back or not even in f1 anymore

and hes getting shit results race after race

[sonic gorge]

#polls message

Just leaving this here. The sale price is tempting even though I hated the launch handling.

[vague willow]

do it its worth it

i did that and swapped him with Alonso

it was decent but then I swapped Alonso for Sainz

and now in 2027 Sainz and Norris are both cooking (we are 2m away from the cost cap)

im at Sao Paulo 2027

and Alpine is absolutely fast

zhou is on fucking pole what

IN THE ALPINE

he won the sprint

wtf

[heavy shoal]

man this ers stuff is so confusing

can someone explain to me

qualifying is easy but the race i dont get

[floral apex]

i can give you some tips
i dont think they chagned the ERS system much between 23 and 24

[heavy shoal]

it has changed

It's more complex

[floral apex]

it's still got medium, hotlap, overtake and off modes right

[heavy shoal]

yes

and they have added recharge

[floral apex]

an individual recharge mode

[heavy shoal]

am I changing between different modes in the race

[floral apex]

i believe the default mode should still be medium

which should remain on so you have some ers deployment during the race
overtake mode should be used when overtaking (obviously) but also in trying to defend your position

[heavy shoal]

but if I leave it on medium my recharge will be full before the lap ends meaning i have less ers to use

[floral apex]

can hotlap be enabled in races in 24?

[heavy shoal]

yes

[floral apex]

you could use that then to shave off ers storage

alternate between medium and hotlap when you don't need to defend/overtake

[heavy shoal]

i'll try that

ty

[floral apex]

yw

[covert cypress]

That’s normal

[covert cypress]

The Strat is

Genuinely if your leading

Use none in corners

And then when you save you can do Hotmail

Hotlap

And then defend with overtake

[heavy shoal]

hmm ok

should i turn engine braking down for the race?

[floral apex]

yeah i'll be sending emails once i get some ERS saved up

[covert cypress]

Shut up lol

[floral apex]

i wasn't paying attention and came this close to hitting a wall

[floral apex]

engineer just told me "the red bull driver's stopping now"
the two drivers in the pits were Sainz and Piastri, neither of which were at Red Bull

[vague willow]

ive got a 43 second gap in 2028 bahrain in f1 manager 2023

ive built a goddamn rocketship 😭🙏

it just doesnt stop going up

time to pit

i finished the race with a 53.1 sec gap

[floral apex]

mates the new Max Verstappen

if Max Verstappen was a team

[vague willow]

lol

max verstappen simulator 2023

[pastel acorn]

anyone wanna play a 2 player career

[floral apex]

google docs plays the f1 game apparently

[floral apex]

guess what position this driver is in

[floral apex]

We secured the constructor's championship in Singapore!

on the drivers' side it appears we'll be bringing the championship fight to the end - it is exactly one race win (without fastest lap) between me and Max

[heavy shoal]

jfc

[floral apex]

is that a reaction to the championship fight or our gap to everyone else

[heavy shoal]

the gap lmao

bro is having a title fight with Max in another universe

[floral apex]

and this is a season where Imola wasn't cancelled

one thousand laps on my control electronics tho

[brazen nebula]

ill see if i can hire a new driver for just the rest of the season because its at hungary now and ive hired hamilton for the next season

[brazen nebula]

how long do you set your races

[floral apex]

im on medium length sessions

[brazen nebula]

oh

its gonna be seriously difficult to get mclarens shit together we are 6m in debt because piastri keeps crashing

and i keep having to buy emergency parts

[floral apex]

you should fire this pastri guy
he seems to just be a liability

[brazen nebula]

next season he is gone

ive signed a contract with lewis for next year

[vague willow]

Ok that’s good

[brazen nebula]

ngl bro drugovich has crashed less in the fp1 sessions

[vague willow]

Been there

I finished 2027 9m over the cost cap also which sucked for board confidence

but I won abu dhabi by like 25 sec and it got back up to high

[brazen nebula]

soon enough im just gonna give drugovich all of piastris fp1 sessions

[vague willow]

Piastri’s always the unlucky one

[brazen nebula]

i get hes a rookie in this season but like

sargeant has made less mistakes

[vague willow]

After I fired him he left f1 but made a comeback in 2026 and has been at Alfa Romeo since

[vague willow]

*in the game

[brazen nebula]

plus since hes been in f1 his development rate is so much slower

[vague willow]

Yeah

[brazen nebula]

if i just give drugovich all the fp1 sessions

hes gained 3 overall rating by hungary

[vague willow]

I’ve got bearman as my reserve and he’s been developing well

Past 2 seasons in he’s got up to 84 from like 76

[brazen nebula]

i only chose drugovich cause i checked the f2 standings from when he won

and he dominated

[vague willow]

Ah

[brazen nebula]

he won by over a 100 points

i think

or close to that

[vague willow]

I probably should have checked those

I just went for bearman cause I thought he was good enough for it

[brazen nebula]

the only issue is he is quite a bit older than the other f2 drivers

[vague willow]

Yeah

[brazen nebula]

i would have gone for pourchaire but in another career where he was my reserver he was too old so he has medium development rate

cause hes higher rating

[vague willow]

Yeah

[floral apex]

i guess i'm williams now

[vague willow]

I switched Alonso for Sainz for 2026 cause Alonso had a very slow development rate

[brazen nebula]

how high rating is he

like

by default

[vague willow]

I don’t remember I think like 87-88

[vague willow]

For Alonso

Sainz had 90 by default

[floral apex]

you switched out one spaniard for another spaniard

[vague willow]

Yeah

Alonso was barely developing so

[brazen nebula]

last year i did a ferrari career on f1 manager 22

and my friend told me a strategy if you dont care about having equal teammates

the strategy was to tell your lead driver to push]

and if your second driver is in p2 then put him onto conserving tyres

and defend

[floral apex]

huh

[brazen nebula]

then you get a free 20 second gap+ for your lead driver

[vague willow]

I’ll try that

[floral apex]

i just do that by default in f1 23 lmao

if im able to i let Max through to secure a win for the team and i stay behind to keep him in the lead

[brazen nebula]

it would only work if your second driver had good defence

it worked for me cause i had sainz

[vague willow]

Ok

[floral apex]

so basically it works best if you have one fast driver and one wide boi driver

[brazen nebula]

yeah

and i kept the ferrari lineup the same

until i added max to replace sainz

but then i had leclerc and verstappen as teammates who were too fast already and were in the fastest car

[floral apex]

did they have any inchidents?

[brazen nebula]

so i didnt bother

sometimes leclerc would lock up but it was rare i let them fight unless they were so far ahead it didnt matter

ngl bro i basically stole ferraris whole technical team for next season

it would have been red bull's but their head of aero, techical chief etc didnt like mclaren

so they werent interested

[floral apex]

you tried to take adrian newey

[brazen nebula]

they dont have adrian newey in the game

[floral apex]

oh

[brazen nebula]

hes like the technical director or something

but they only have head of aero, technical chief, two race engineers and sporting directors per team

maybe next year

or later this year even

[floral apex]

im def getting f1 manager 24 for the create a team mode

even F1 Manager has better customization than the EA game lol

[brazen nebula]

i hope the regular mode allows you to change the logo and livery and stuff

like you can paint the car kind of

[floral apex]

the ability to create special liveries

[brazen nebula]

yeah
